SaveHoney lime winter fruit salad
Juicy orange segments, red grapes, kiwi, crisp apple and banana tossed in a bright honey lime dressing and finished with pomegranate seeds and fresh mint. It takes 15 minutes, looks lovely on a holiday brunch table, and a bowl about an hour before a workout is one of our favorite light, fruity snacks.

Method
The amounts listed under each step are for your servings. Numbers written in the step text are for the original 6.
In a large bowl, whisk the honey, lime juice and lime zest until the honey dissolves, about 30 seconds.
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp lime zest
Cut the peel and white pith off the navel oranges with a sharp knife, then slice them into rounds and cut each round into quarters. Add the oranges and any juice to the bowl.
- 3 navel oranges
Add the grapes, kiwis and apple and toss gently with a large spoon until everything is glossy with dressing. The lime keeps the apple from browning.
- 2 cups red seedless grapes
- 3 kiwises
- 1 apple
Slice the bananas straight into the bowl and fold them in gently so they stay in neat coins.
- 2 bananas
Scatter the pomegranate seeds and mint over the top and serve right away, or chill up to 2 hours.
- ½ cup pomegranate seeds
- 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves
Tips
- Add the bananas last and only shortly before serving. They soften and darken if they sit in the dressing for more than a few hours.
- Make ahead: cut the oranges, grapes, kiwi and apple and toss them with the dressing up to 1 day ahead in the fridge, then add the bananas, pomegranate and mint just before serving.
- Before a workout, about 1 cup 30 to 60 minutes ahead is plenty. It is mostly quick carbs from fruit and honey, with little fat or fiber to slow you down.
- Swap in clementines for the oranges (peel and separate the segments), pears for the apple, or a little maple syrup for the honey.
